What I liked

Incredibly well acted all around and spot on directing. The ridiculousness was ridiculous for a reason and despite the premise, no character seemed unbelievable. Ok, maybe the scientist, but that guy was hilarious. Comedic timing was IMPECCABLE. The actors knew exactly when to hit the audience and when to keep them in suspense. Witty dialogue all around, but the writing also kept grounded when it needed to.

What I didn't like

I honestly wouldn’t change a thing.

My overall impression

Incredibly well directed execution of a premise that could’ve fallen flat in the wrong hands but instead somehow took the zoomed out general feelings surrounding the 2016 election and funneled them down into one campaign manager’s desperate last attempt.
